Jan Kranti Party was founded in Lucknow on 2010-01-05 by Kalyan Singh, former
member of Bharatiya Janata Party and Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh in three
terms, and his son Rajvir Singh, who became its first president [1, 2]. The
party flag is orange-green-orange horizontal triband and was adopted along with
the founding of the party [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. Colors of the flag are the same as
those of Bharatiya Janata Party; the choice was certainly intentional, because
the new party has announced that its ideology will be based on “aggressive
Hindutva and nationalism”, which, according to Kalyan Singh, his former party
has abandoned [5]. Orange/saffron itself is often considered the symbol of
Hindutuva, and in combination with green it does make a link with Kalyan Singh's
former career, which includes a rather controversial role in case of demolition
of Babri Mosque in Ayodhya in 1992 [2], the event which caused riots with
numerous victims throughout India.
